St. Louis and the arch (it's HOT here!)


We've now stayed at Tracey's parents house for two nights. Very nice! Guro learned some more about american football and entertained mum and dad, while Magnus and Tracey updated each other of what's been going on the last year. Sunday we went to an exhibition called Body Worlds 3 at the Science center. These bodies are for real!! And you can stydy the organs, muscles, skin, the nerval system, blood veins etc. After that we had lunch in nice sunny summer weather, and drove down to see the famous STL Arch that´s become the landmark for St. Louis. We went up to the top in some tiny egg shaped wagons. The whole arch moved in the wind, so we stayed there for only 20 minutes, not to be too dizzy. The sunset was nice from up here.

Later this sunday evening we celebrated Tracey's 30th birthday with dinner and wine. Her whole family was gathered for this meal. Tomorrow we'll be leaving St. Louis for Nashville, and Tracey will be joining us down to Memphis. Thank you so much, Haynes family, for having us in your house these days, and for beeing so great hosts to us travellers.
